Dell PowerEdge 300 GB SAS Drive

This 300 GB internal hard drive operates at 10000 RPM with a 16 MB cache and a SAS 3Gb/s interface. It is built in a 3.5 inch low-profile form factor and includes a mounting tray for direct installation in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers. The drive is supplied new and carries RoHS environmental certification.

Suited for Dell PowerEdge and PowerVault Servers

The drive is designed for Dell PowerEdge 1900, 1950, 2900, 2950, 6900 and 6950 servers as well as PowerVault MD1000 and MD3000 storage arrays. It is not suited for systems that lack a SAS 3Gb/s backplane or controller, for workloads needing larger capacities, or for desktop computers without enterprise drive support.

SAS 3Gb/s Interface Determines Compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 3Gb/s interface, which requires a matching controller or backplane in the host server. Verify that the target system lists SAS 3Gb/s support and accepts 3.5 inch low-profile drives before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5" SAS drive come with the Dell PowerEdge tray for hot-swap bays?

The HT954 ships with the low-profile tray that fits Dell PowerEdge 1900, 1950, 2900, 2950, 6900 and 6950 hot-swap bays.

Which SAS backplane speed is required for the 3Gb/s interface?

Connect the drive to a 3Gb/s SAS backplane; the drive will negotiate down if the controller only supports 3Gb/s.

When should the 10000 RPM mechanism be replaced in a RAID array?

Replace the drive if SMART reallocated sectors rise or if the array logs repeated read errors during rebuilds.
